Supplementary Reading

An accessible textbook which provides a neat overview of the development of Arthurian Literature in less than 200 pages. Whilst not as in-depth as some other scholarly works, this is a great starting point for those wanting to move beyond the core texts and it develops upon much of what has been discussed in the talk today.

A step up from Pearsall, the Oxford Guide covers some of the more obscure Arthurian texts alongside the major works. As well as providing a critical history of the legends, the guide also contains a useful A-Z of Arthurian characters, places and symbols and an extensive bibliography with links to numerous other Arthurian resources.
